Dustin's Stranger Things Hoodie Is Selling Out Fast

During the Stranger Things second season, well-loved Dustin wears a deep purple sweatshirt from the Science Museum of Minnesota. That sweatshirt actually exists for purchase, in real life. Well, it did, anyway—until the museum promptly sold out of the style, amid Stranger Things hysteria. This vintage style was brought back to life by the historic museum. It’s a wonder what the power of a cult classic can do…

The sweatshirt boasts a brontosaurus skeleton on the chest and, other than its science-loving graphic, is a plain old purple hoodie. Though guests of the museum might have walked past the piece in the gift shop a thousand times over, once Stranger Things brought it to the attention of the world, all bets were off. The Star Tribune reports that “social media went crazy and the museum was flooded with calls from fans eager to buy the hoodie, so the Science Museum quickly set in motion manufacturing the apparel again.”

This Tuesday, the museum announced “The wait is over.” At 8 a.m., the online store opened and, by late afternoon, the museum had already reportedly rung up more than $400,000 in sales. What’s more, anyone in the area quickly headed over to the museum itself, ravaging through the 600 hoodies that called the gift shop home for a few short hours.

Though the museum assures customers that there will always be a re-stock, the hoodie’s record number of sales in such a short period suggest that Stranger Things fans might have to wait a little while for their vintage replica top. The museum told the Star Tribune that they have an unlimited supply, in theory, adding, “everyone who wants one will be able to get one, but it just might take some time.”
